That's a can o' worms I hesitate to open. [And that's my cliche quota for
the day.] Let's just say: Quite aside from the value of version 4's
numerous alleged/undoubted benefits over Xy3 or its alleged/actual
bugginess, the differences are numerous and great enough to annoy a
significant number of people. My impression is that they're in a minority,
but it's by no means a negligible minority. You can use your Xy3 keyboard
file with Xy4; this will make Xy4 a lot more familiar, but some say that
you thereby shortchange yourself.

Incidentally, I'm happy to hear that The Technology Group still exists.

Smart Words.)
